Experiments were performed to investigate vasopressin type 2 receptor (V2)-mediated renal water reabsorption and the renal expression of the vasopressin-regulated water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP-2) in cirrhotic rats with sodium retention but without ascites. In addition, the expression of the furosemide-sensitive type 1 Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (BSC-1) and the natriuretic response to an intravenous test dose furosemide (7.5 mg/kg) during acute V2-receptor blockade was measured. Acute V2-receptor blockade with the selective nonpeptide antagonist OPC-31260 (800 µg · kg-1 · h-1) was performed during conditions in which volume depletion was prevented by computer-driven, servo-controlled intravenous volume replacement with 150 mM glucose. OPC-31260 produced a significantly smaller increase in urine flow rate (-26%) and free water clearance (-18%) in cirrhotic rats than in control rats. The natriuretic response to an intravenous test dose furosemide (7.5 mg/kg) was significantly increased in cirrhotic rats (+52%), but pretreatment with OPC-31260 did not affect the natriuretic response to furosemide in neither cirrhotic nor in control rats. Semiquantitative immunoblotting showed a significant downregulation of AQP-2 in the renal cortex (-72%) and in the outer medulla (-44%). The relative expression of BSC-1 in the outer medulla was unchanged in cirrhotic rats. The corticopapillary gradient of Na was significantly increased in cirrhotic rats. Since daily urine flow rate was similar in cirrhotic and sham-operated rats, we suggest that non-vasopressin-mediated water reabsorption is increased in cirrhotic rats probably as a result of an increased corticomedullary gradient due to exaggerated NaCl reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop.
